I am a 15 years old girl and I wear glasses. I really want to wear contacts. My parents told me that I couldn't have them. But they tend to be persuaded when great effort is put forth. Its just I don't know what to tell them other than I don't like wearing glasses because the way they feel and look.[that isnt good enough for them;i already tried]
Here are some things about me that may help
-cheerleader
-actress [right now only for plays]
-Pre-International Baccalaureate Student [hardest school program in the world;no exaggeration]
-model(only for my church's fashion show)
If anyone could come up with some ideas or FACTS about the benefits of contacts it would be A BIG HELP!

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health? Sima answered Monday December 4 2006, 11:36 pm: Tell them that you would like a change from your glasses. Maybe ask if you can have a trial pair from your optometrist, and then maybe that can convince them if they want to buy contacts for however long you want them [6 months, 1 year, ect.] Tell them that you don't want to lose your glasses incase if anything happens, because you obviously can't lose contacts [they're in your eye]. So, for right now, just ask if you can have a trial pair, and see how it goes from there. I wear contacts, but at first I wore glasses for about a month before my mom bought contacts for me. She suggested the idea of contacts, because she knows how forgetful I am and how I could easily lose them.

-However, you do have a lot of reason to have them. Cheerleading first off- requires you to jump around and your glasses can be comprimised in those situations (being broke for instance).
-Sometimes wearing glasses which are not glare proof under stage lights makes your eyes sore and tiered.
-If That school thing is a very difficult school then they should reward you for even being a part of it.
-A girl cannot always wear glasses, they just can't. When you want to go out to a party or really fancy black dress occasion you do not want to wear glasses. It just doesn't look nice. So try and ask them to have contacts for those type of occasions. [ ImFakingHotPink's advice column | Ask ImFakingHotPink A Question ]
